Fitter2, your 4 ship Belvedere flypast jogged memories! Turning up as usual at the Sqn HQ and somewhat bleary eyed we were informed that we would all be airborne within the hour for a formation flypast of HQFEAF. Evidently the boss had been incautious enough at a FEAF Guest Night to boast that he could get all five aircraft presently on the line at Changi airborne if he so wished. The CinC thought that would be a very good idea and looked forward to seeing them the next morning. Frantic efforts by the night shift First Line Ground Crew had them all serviceable and available in time and the Boss made sure that a photographic evidence was obtained for the record. Nonetheless, I suspect a lesson was learned! :-
Sorry OP , mega drift. Singapore not Borneo. Hastings not Javelins. Back to the thread, quick someone!
